Pyong Gap Min compares Indian Americans and Korean Americans, two of the most significant ethnic groups in New York, and examines the different ways in which they preserve their ethnicity through their faith. Does someone feel more \"Indian\" because they practice Hinduism? Does membership in a Korean Protestant church aid in maintaining ties to Korean culture? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePushing beyond sociological research on religion and ethnicity which has tended to focus on whites or on a single immigrant group or on a single generation, Min also takes actual religious practice and theology seriously, rather than gauging religiosity based primarily on belonging to a congregation. Fascinating and provocative voices of informants from two generations combine with telephone survey data to help readers understand overall patterns of religious practices for each group under consideration. \u003cb\u003ePreserving Ethnicity through Religion in America\u003c\/b\u003e is remarkable in its scope, its theoretical significance, and its methodological sophistication.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePyong Gap Min\u003c\/b\u003e is Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Director of Research Center for Korean Community at Queens College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.
